Chassis dynamics have been adjusted for improved ride comfort, and ‘newly tuned’ sway bars are on-board for more neutral handling, according to Porsche.

Braking is also improved with the front rotors upped in size by 10mm to 360mm, new brake pads, and a lighter pedal for more precise feel.

Porsche will also offer an optional 'Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake' (PCCB) package, a GT sports steering wheel from the 911 sports car, a heated windshield and an ioniser for improved cabin air quality.
